I used to work for a startup that quickly grew to become one of the biggest Lambda users in my country (according to AWS). The entire business was serverless, not just Lambda but backend DynamoDB, APIGW, Cloudfront, etc. There was maybe 2 EC2 instances in the whole company.
Having seen what that model of development can do from an operational/security/agility/scalability/efficiency perspective, I think the comments on HN about serverless saying "it's just CGI" or that they could do something similar without vendor lockin are honestly laughably ignorant. If you haven't messed with Zappa (https://github.com/Miserlou/Zappa) or Serverless Framework (https://www.serverless.com/) at least a little you are missing out.
